Deca, commonly known as Deca Durabolin or Nandrolone Decanoate is an anabolic steroid commonly used to treat osteoporosis in elderly women (post-menopausal women).
Description
What is Deca
Nandrolone decanoate or nandrolone decanoate is an anabolic steroid, often sold under the brand name Deca Durabolin. It is an androgen and anabolic steroid drug (AAS) that is injected into muscle or fat every one to four weeks.How does Deca work?
Nandrolone decanoate works at the DNA level, mimicking the function of the androgen (testosterone) that is naturally produced in the body. Nandrolone levels have a positive effect on the body's calcium metabolism and increase bone mass in cases of osteoporosis.Chemical Structure
Nandrolone decanoate, also known as 17β-nandrolone decanoate, is a derivative of testosterone and is a synthetic estranolol steroid (or steroid ester). These compounds contain a steroid moiety with a carboxylate group. It is an androgenic ester. Specifically, it is the C17β decanoate (decanoate) of nandrolone (19-nortestosterone), which itself is a 19-desmethylated analog of testosterone.
